Chapter 189 Lu Dou: In the beginning, human nature is inherently evil!

Magistrate Lu behaved extremely humbly in front of Jia Lian. He even dared to sit half-sit down on the chair. He did not dare to have the slightest objection to Jia Zhong, a warrior with no official status, sitting on the other side of Jia Lian.

As for whether he had any objections in his heart, Jia Lian didn't care at all. When they met the magistrate Lu today, firstly it was because of Yu Rong's dignity, and secondly it was because Jia Lian had a whim and wanted to play a free game in Antai County.

As for the fact that Magistrate Lu used Jia Lian's "brother-in-law" in a roundabout way, it's just a matter of hammering it down a bit.

"Old Lu! I heard that you tell people everywhere that you are my brother-in-law?"

Jia Lian's understatement made Magistrate Lu sweat on his forehead. With a puff, he slipped from his seat and fell to his knees.

"This... Sir, I was really desperate before. I had no choice but to borrow some of your power to get through the difficulties. I also ask your forgiveness. From now on, Sir, if you have errands, I will never give up!"

Are you giving in? Are you not a civil servant in the end? Where is your character? Where is your integrity?

Why are you kneeling now?

It happened that such a thing actually realized that Haoran's righteousness was in him. At this moment, Jia Lian was really disappointed with the name "Haoran's righteousness".

However, the tall image of Grandpa Zhang Ju flashed through his mind. Well...it can't be generalized. Maybe the magistrate Lu was indeed an aspiring young man who upheld integrity when he realized his righteousness. But now,

What...

How else to explain that at nearly forty years old, he is still wandering in the first realm of Confucianism, the "Qi-nourishing realm". He seems to be no better than Wang Xifeng, who has only just started.

"Okay, after all, you are the lord of the county. Don't kneel down all the time. Get up, Lao Lu.

Let me put it bluntly. After a while, someone will come to Antai to open a textile factory. The output of this textile factory will be very large. Its products are mainly sold overseas, and it will require a lot of manpower. This is the case in your county.

order to work.

10% of the textile factory's income will belong to the Yina County Yamen, and what you need to do is not to let those messy things contaminate the textile factory."

The timing chosen by Jia Lian was just right. It happened that after three months of experience, the tens of thousands of migrant workers gathered in Antai County should have become accustomed to the life style of being hired workers.

"I see. If I understand this, I will definitely not miss your Lordship's business!"

After hearing what Jia Lian said, County Magistrate Lu hurriedly patted his chest and agreed without any hesitation. It wasn't that he didn't want to pay, so of course he agreed happily!

Besides, in this way, he, Lu Dou, was completely connected with the first-class general of Duke Rongguo. After all, he, Lu Dou, was also a Jinshi at the bottom of the rankings, and he still had some connections with his masters in the same year.

The most popular figures in the Daqing Dynasty cannot avoid the person in front of them no matter what. Not to mention, even a fool can see that the terrifyingly powerful men who were doing disaster relief in Antai County some time ago are all related to this man.

What a great relationship!

With such a thick thigh right in front of you, do you still need to hesitate?

Lu Dou decisively chose to kneel and lick!

Jia Lian thought about it for a while and accepted Lu Dou's offer. Although this guy didn't have a good official reputation or a good person, he still had a bottom line and was somewhat effective in his work.

The most important thing is that Jia Lian has a lot of things to do now. As long as he is not a truly hopeless person, he can use it and is willing to give it a chance.

"Okay, take a seat, Lao Lu. This is Jia Zhong, a genius in martial arts. He will be in charge of the textile factory in Antai in the next few years. You two can get acquainted with each other."

Lu Dou was shocked when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed. A martial arts innate? Such a young innate grandmaster? Such a strong person obediently obeyed Jia Lian. It seems that he bowed to Jia Lian today, and he was indeed right!

Jia Zhong and Lu Dou exchanged pleasantries, and then began to toast Jia Lian frequently, and the atmosphere gradually became warm.

"Old Lu, Yu Rong and his sister have been dependent on each other since childhood. Since his sister has become your concubine, you must treat her well. Of course, spoiling a concubine and destroying your wife is absolutely forbidden..."

"That's right, sir..."

"Old Lu, I see that you are also a Confucian scholar who has developed great righteousness. Why are you still in the state of nurturing qi at your age?"

"That's it, my lord, you said... um~ lord, you don't know Lu's suffering~"

"Oh? It seems that Lao Lu is also a person with stories! Let me tell you, if you are the one who is reasonable, it doesn't matter if I help you take the lead."

"Alas, sir, I can't blame others for this matter. Who said Lu's enlightenment words were actually: [In the beginning, human nature is evil!] Well, since the day of enlightenment, Lu has not been taught by many famous teachers anymore.

The Chinese agreed, and except for my teacher and a few friends of the same age who I had made friends with in the early years, everyone else stayed away from me..."

Jia Lian was speechless for a moment after hearing this. Confucianism has been handed down for thousands of years, but why has it always followed the teachings of Confucius and Mencius? Why is Xunzi, who is also a semi-sage, unknown in later generations? There are countless bad debts in this.

From this point of view, our County Magistrate Lu Dou is also a strange flower. It is no wonder that this person was born as a Jinshi and has been working for more than ten years, but he is still holding the official position of the 17th grade County Magistrate.

After many years of wasted time, his awe-inspiring righteousness is not considered outstanding among scholars in the Qi-nourishing realm. I am afraid that his awe-inspiring righteousness has hardly improved since his enlightenment.

However, Jia Lian felt that it was very suitable to distinguish the differences between Huayi and Huayi simply based on the nature of good and evil.

In the future, in feudal countries, descendants of Yan and Huang who are flower growers will be taught that human nature is inherently good, but those natives in overseas feudal lands will be taught that human nature is inherently evil!

Yeah! That’s right, that’s what happened.

This thought was certain, and Jia Lian became more and more fond of Lu Dou, and he began to wonder in his heart how to trick this guy into Jiazhou in a few years.

I originally thought that Wang Xifeng's "female appearance is to please herself" was already very strange, but I didn't expect that there is also a "human being is born with evil nature!" here.

It seems that the cultivation of Confucianism is also very interesting. Unfortunately, perhaps because he has experienced the baptism of the information explosion era, Jia Lian cannot find his own words of enlightenment. The cultivation of reading and nourishing Qi is so stuck.

On the first step!

This night, the guests and hosts had a great time, and Jia Lian and even Jia Zhong had a different impression of Lu Dou, the county magistrate. This could be regarded as a good development of the cooperation between Antai County and Rongguo Mansion.

The next morning, Jia Lian woke up from the bed in Yu Rong's boudoir again. This was the second time, and he was barely familiar with the journey.

Last night, Jia Lian was brought up by Lu Dou, a man who had not been able to realize his sorrow for a long time. In addition, he deliberately failed to expel the alcohol from his body, so Jia Lian became extremely drunk.

Fortunately, his wine was strong enough, and when he got drunk, he just hugged Yurong and fell asleep, and did not feel ecstasy before she entered the house.

Opening his eyes, Jia Lian looked calm, reluctantly took his hands out of Yurong's clothes, and got up for morning exercises.

After doing some activities in the yard, wash up and enjoy breakfast.

"Rong'er, please clean up today. I'll ask Jia Zhong to escort you back to the capital. When you get to the capital, invite some relatives, friends and elders to set up a few tables, and we can live together from now on."

"Well, everyone in the slave family listens to Lian Lang."

Of course, Jia Lian cannot stay in Antai County for a long time. Spending one night here is already the limit. After going back, the old lady will inevitably have to scold him.

Without it, it is just to protect the face of Qin Keqing, the princess of Yongji County. Tianhuang nobles naturally have to be treated accordingly.

In the heart of the old lady, or in the hearts of most Chinese people, it is natural that the royal family should be superior.

After the explanation, Lu Dou also asked Yu Rong's sister to come over and help clean up. At the end of noon, a convoy of more than ten carriages set off under the escort of Jia Zhong and others.

At the gate of Antai County, which was under construction, Jia Lian bid farewell to Yu Rong in the motorcade, sat astride the back of Jin Ling'er in the form of a mount, and drove away in the form of a rainbow.

Jia Zhong also led the convoy slowly towards Shenjing City. The journey would take about ten days, and after that, he would return to Antai County to continue to take charge.

…

At the same time, the Port of Manila in Luzon was blocked!

The Dutch, the English, the French and the French, after the Nanyang Army clearly placed their strategic intentions on Malacca, these four Western powers with the strongest maritime power at the time chose to unite.

At this time, the four coalition forces had been blocking the port outside Manila for a whole day, and envoys from the four maritime powers had been chattering at the Luzon Governor's Palace all morning.

It was not until the afternoon that Fenyang Bo Xie Yun, who was the governor of Luzon in Daqing, lazily appeared in front of the Western envoys. Although the situation seemed a bit unfavorable, with Liu Changgong and three hundred quasi-innate experts present, Fenyang Bo

Xie Yun will not have any thoughts of shrinking.

"Hello, envoys. It is said that you have been clamoring to see me, and even used coalition forces to blockade the Manila Port of Daqing. Do you want to declare war on Daqing?"

"Dear Earl, on behalf of the British Empire, I am making solemn representations to your country. Please ensure that I lead the British Empire's interests in the Far East, otherwise..."

"Yes, there are us Dutch too!"

"We are France!"

"We Frankie!"

"Well... to ensure your interests? Can you be more specific? What are your interests?"

"First of all, our merchant ships must be able to call at various ports freely, and you Daqing people must not block our legal free trade rights. In addition, every ship flying our flag is equivalent to our territory! Daqing people are here

No violent boarding or blockade is allowed without permission!

The previous incident at Manila Port must not happen again under any circumstances!"

This tall and skinny Englishman, who was wearing a civilized staff and wearing a very Western-colored clothing, loudly stated their demands with a proud look on his face.

"Finally, I would also like to thank the Governor for being cautious about Malacca. There are interests of the British East India Company there and they are sacred and inviolable!"

It seems that the power of the East India Company did begin to gain a foothold in Sin Chew during this period.

It seems like...

It’s time to take a heavy blow!

There is another update that should be before 12pm!

Robbery and hand over all the monthly tickets!
